Just wanted to say that the tutorials do work and there is nothing blocking from rooting the newest version of the NT. I just did mine today, it took me a bit of trial an error in a few places, but if you follow the directions, and watch all of the videos, you should be able to root your NT. THANK YOU to the developers who made this possible!!! You guys ROCK!:D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fortunz:
I'll drink to that \_/

Thanks xda :)

Devs rock!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Doctorword:
Yea honestly its a great feeling aint it?! I did mine 2 days ago and it took about 2 hours (im really anal on rewatching the tutorial vids multiple times before trying lol) but it was worth it!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
You were able to root your NT with version 1.4.1 ? Or did you go back to 1.4.0
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Doctorword:
mine never updated to 1.4.1 guess I was lucky
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
This is what scares me. Mine was rooted and set to block OTA but it happened anyway :mad: Totally screwed up hours of work :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Berryblue:
If you're setup to block OTA then it should not update. To determine if you are truly blocking them, you need to check your version number and if it is not set to 9.9.9 then you are not blocking OOTA
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Doctorword:
wow I sure hope mine doesnt do that!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Berryblue:
Check your version number, if it is 9.9.9 then you are good.

[Motorola Droid 3] fairplay89:
Today I took my phone off the charger at 4:45pm, and by 7:30pm it was completely dead. As in it had powered off.

I am running a fresh copy of ICS Alpha #4. I had terrible battery life too while on stock GB w/ Blur, Liberty 2.0 & now the ICS Alphas.

Wifi, Bluetooth off.

No live wallpaper or widgets.

Facebook was the only app installed from the market.

Verizon 3G was on.

32gb SD card with music on it.

Any suggestions?! When I was getting 4 hours of battery I was pizzzzzzed, but now 2 hours?!?! New phone plx.
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
Your battery stats get hosed when you flash roms and swap between then, your phone wasnt fully charged, it was over half dead and reporting full

Droid 1 Rooted (ChevyNo1 0.9MV Kernel, LGB2.6)

Droid 3 Rooted (Hashcode gave me some Ice Cream)
[Motorola Droid 3] fairplay89:
Is there any way to fix that?
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
Download a battery calibrator app from the market, it takes 1 or two full charges and discharges and wiping stats to get it normal again

Droid 1 Rooted (ChevyNo1 0.9MV Kernel, LGB2.6)

Droid 3 Rooted (Hashcode gave me some Ice Cream)
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Download Autokiller from the Market and use the Strict preset. For some reason FB kills the battery but that will keep it in check.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I actually went from like 6 am to 10% battery at 11 pm yesterday and I used my phone for an hour reading an ebook from Aldiko.
[Motorola Droid 3] beard0:
Don't do this..this will do more bad then good. Android works better with more apps working and it is gunna waste more battery restarting all the apps that kills

/Droid3
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
What? that's not his problem. If you get 4 hours of batterylife its not because FB is running. I suggest running battery calibration app then letting it die.

that said I installed several new roms but while battery life was maybe little worse it was never 4hours O_o
[Motorola Droid 3] beard0:
You probably need a new battery..just my guess

/Droid3
[Motorola Droid 3] billyhoyle13:
If you're using Safestrap, you can wipe battery stats when you flash a new Rom. Might help with reading more accurately.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Remove your battery and physically examine it. Are the flat faces puffed outward slightly? This is usually what happens when the batteries are dead beyond all hope. Other than that, I'd say make sure you wipe data between flashing ROMs. Also, get AutoStarts and then disable certain apps that start when unneeded. For example, Maps tries to start (for me at least) when your battery is low? StubmleUpon tries to start when an application is uninstalled? *headscratch* AutoStarts lets you block all of this crap. Nearly everything tries to start after start up.

I think this is better than a killer, because this prevents them from starting when not needed, instead of killing them each time their trigger goes off, such as a text being received.

For wiping battery stats, I prefer to fully charge it, boot into SafeStrap or BootStrap, go to advanced, then reset the battery stats. Now boot normally and let it drain to completely dead and then recharge to 100% without an interruption. This seems to calibrate it best IMO.
[Motorola Droid 3] fairplay89:
I used an appfrom the market... battery calibration. Little green android guy as the icon. Seems to be better, but not stellar. Do you really think I need a new battery already? My phone was new in August.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Try my suggestion and see if it helps. I'm telling you, FB takes battery life for lunch. Autokiller prevents that.
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
You might think about an app like Set CPU or similar. You can set profiles that will limit the CPU speed when the screen is off. I have used this app since early OG Droid and it helps quite a bit if you set your profiles wisely.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ducki07:
I actually ran into something similar. My phone at first lasted for only 4-5 hours, then at one point it told me I was at 1% all day (and it last 8+ hours while I was at work).

If I remember right I charged the phone overnight,

wiped the battery stat, waited for it to die,

then charged it overnight again.

The next day I installed my ROM again and everything's been working ok since.

I'm sure someone can tell you which steps actually did the trip but that's just what I did.
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
We have no kernel control, and our phones go wonkey at low speeds. Setcpu is a bad idea to use on our phone

Droid 1 Rooted (ChevyNo1 0.9MV Kernel, LGB2.6)

Droid 3 Rooted (Hashcode gave me some Ice Cream)
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
I disagree. We may not be able to install our own kernel, however we do have to ability to set conditional upper and lower limits to the existing kernel. There is no reason why the phone would act wonky at a speed that is set to run at with the stock kernel.
[Motorola Droid 3] fairplay89:
Is there a way I can deny apps certain permissions? Just for example every time you load the FB app it fires up the GPS. Not only does it not need to do that, I don't want it to do that.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
You can probably wipe the FB apps data and then restart it and deny it's request for location services. Also, open it up and check its sync interval. In addition to that, I believe you can go into data management settings and prohibit all apps from auto-synching.

As for you battery, pull it out and examine it. If it's puffy, this is a sign that it's shot. It should be perfectly flat, and most likely is. Are you rooted (I can't remember)? Either grab us a screen shot of what's been using your battery or pull out your camera and take a literal screen shot that way...you know, the screen that shows what's been using your battery. From here as well, you can see how much CPU time it's consumed and whatnot. Does your phone run hot?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I tried lowering the upper limit using setcpu and it started freezing and rebooting. I wanted it to stick at 300 when locked to see about saving battery. Everytime it locked it went wonky.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Our kernel is fixed. We have minimal, if any, CPU frequency control. You can OC to 1.2 or so with CM9, but it's lost on reboot.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
1.2 is unstable on my device, reboots after a few minutes. Even 1.1 gives me issues after awhile. Although i find my device quick enough without since i started flashing custom roms
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
I am using SetCPU as well with no problems at all. My main profile is min=800, Max=1000, for screen off I have it set to min=300, Max=600, both are "on demand". You might be having problems because you are trying to keep it at the lowest speed while the screen is off. A maximum setting of 600 is limiting it to 60% which is plenty of restriction for improved battery. I think 30% might just be asking too much.
[Motorola Droid 3] gVibeR:
I dunno ... I spent 15 bucks on an Extended battery from Amazon dot com and have not had any problems since. I never even troubleshot the original battery.

I do use Advanced Task Killer, with exclusions on my most used apps, and find that ICS won't kill needed apps/services no matter what setting I have.

I can easily go all day ~11am to ~2am without any problems, and am usually still more than half charged when I go to bed.

i'm not sure where i downloaded the opaque weather one. not at home currently so i'll have to post it later. if you can't wait, i found this thread http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13932-theme-thirdeye-for-ics/

regarding the power control, this is part of the Settings.apk so this is something you need to mod yourself. i can post my background image of this later, but it's extremely easy to do if you have photoshop.

whatever it was that i downloaded i found here...

edit: well i found where the above images came from and where i got my GoogMusic apk http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308722

still looking for the weather, though.

edit: the weather is semi-trans, not full trans. this is the one i'm running, found within this theme, but it's not where i originally got it from
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
It has been done for the Nexus S. If you read posts from the thread you mentioned you'll see that most people who installed it on GNex have had issues. I even mentioned it in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
i ran it just fine on mine...

however, because it's essentially the same apk with some minor differences, you can pull all of the images out of the Nexus S GenieWidget.apk and replace the GNex GenieWidget.apk images. this is very simple to do...

edit: actually, now that i think about it, i do remember it not updating or something weird going on with the Nexus S one. this is why i did what i've said above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Holy crap that is an awesome widget :eek:

I am still scratching my head why Google did not even touch or update the stock Genie widget ? I am a big fan of the stock News + Weather, and was hoping with the big ICS update, it would be totally redone, and cooler than anything Sense or Touchwizz offer. But no, Google did not even update the Genie whatsoever.

How Do I re-lock the boot loader for the Htc Amaze from hboot screen?

Hello, I have a Htc amaze and I unlocked the bootloader, I managed to get CWR and a different hboot screen, but whenever I try to turn it on It stays on the htc boot screen. What do I do? I know about RUU but It says to only use on a relocked bootloader, but I cant re lock it. PLEASE HELP
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I'm trying to understand by what you mean "different hboot screen". Did you take out the battery, put it back in and hold the volume down button and power button to get to the bootloader?

[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I would like to know what different hboot screen is too. There is only ONE other hboot screen and it's completely black with HTC in the center with no text (other than the HTC of course).

[HTC Amaze 4G] metalmilo12:

You don't necessarily need S-off to flash radios... just saying.

Then you need the OTA.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
My dad is getting an amaze, I'm going to leave that locked...Can you extract RUU's from those, whenever they get a new update...my feeling says no.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
The OTA's are not RUU's they are regular signed zip files. The files are downloaded to the sdcard and aren't even deleted so it's easy to distribute.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
Technically if we were to OTA update a locked phone wipe and reset to factory, unlock and do a nandroid, we would sorta be getting the same image, right?!!! except with S-ON kernel and radios are not updated with nandroid?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Getting the OTA is simple.

Of course you want to make your nandroid backup first.

Flash the stock recovery back and stock rom. This can either be from the RUU or the stock de-odexed ROM specific to your software. When you get the prompt to update go ahead and do so. Install your OTA update then just re-root. You shouldn't have to re-lock and unlock your bootloader.

Finally, restore your backup.

Regarding puttin a rom on my Amaze.

Good Evening,

I am posting a question sorry for being such a noob. I went ahead and followed the step required for me, To take s-off my phone and also the required steps to root my phone. Now when the phone is at start up. It stays on HTC and right under it Quietly Brilliant. I have tried the steps over and over and over. But its the same thing. It just reboots to HTC and right under it Quietly Brilliant. Is there a reason for that or did I do something wrong? Now I'm un able to use my phone. Can Anyone help me out with this please?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
What step was required for you to get s-off? I ask because you can't get s-off on the Amaze. :rolleyes:

If it says Quietly Brilliant than it's booting up.

Unless it blanks out and does it again then just let it sit. If you flashed a custom rom then you may have to give it a few minutes to boot up.

Otherwise search on Google for instructions on how to get a logcat.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
I'm assuming you flashed bulletproof! X specifically mentions that you get the stock boot screen, that is what you're seeing, instead of the tmobile startup screen...listen to binary and give it some time...sometimes it takes as long as 10 minutes after a new rom has been flashed for the phone to start
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
If he see's a Quietly Brilliant then it's booting. The standard HTC boot screen doesn't have anything but HTC on a plain white screen. If it has anything else then it's the bootscreen. :rolleyes:
